Let it SNOW! {x3}

More Christmas, Snow and Noon Years 054

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

More Christmas, Snow and Noon Years 062

What in the WORLD? This winter is NUTS! I can never remember having a true winter in Texas, and I can honestly say that I’ll welcome the Spring feeling satisfied. On the Tuesday after Christmas, we had our third snow of the season. And, it came down in SHEETS! I don’t remember ever seeing so much snow falling from the sky----SO BEAUTIFUL! So, when Quinn woke up from his nap, we got him all bundled up and headed outdoors to enjoy our own little version of a Winter Wonderland. Sadly, not as much was on the ground as it seemed there would be, but there was still enough to throw, play in and build a tiny little snowman. It was so fun and so pretty…but, SOOOO cold! Quinn had a great time----for a while. But, after a meltdown because his snowman didn’t have a smile (don’t worry, we got him one) and when he started to not be able to feel his fingers, things went south very quickly. He was ready to go inside, take off his wet clothes and wrap up in a blanket next to the fire with Mommy. The tears didn’t stop for about 10 minutes, but dried up when his fingers regained their normal color! :/ Sorry, baby, for giving your fingers the first stage of frostbite…but, it was fun while it lasted! Good thing we live in Texas! I don’t know if he’d be a fan of a REAL winter! :) More Christmas, Snow and Noon Years 058More Christmas, Snow and Noon Years 063 More Christmas, Snow and Noon Years 059 More Christmas, Snow and Noon Years 060More Christmas, Snow and Noon Years 064 More Christmas, Snow and Noon Years 065 More Christmas, Snow and Noon Years 066 More Christmas, Snow and Noon Years 069 More Christmas, Snow and Noon Years 071 Our little foot and half tall snowman.
